japan has taken my breath away

『お早うございます』

that's how you say GOOD MORNING in japanese. and it's a very common greeting to every person who's into japanese culture.

why am i starting this blog in a japanese way? 'coz 私は日本の愛! oh yeah! XD

i myself don't know when exactly did i start liking that particular culture or what made me like it. but as far as i could remember, it was way beyond my reason.

thanks to the cartoons and songs and comics that i like, my passion for japanese stuffs grew as years went by. hehe :D

though there are many people like everything about japan, many people, especially the old ones, despise the japanese people for what they've done in the past. they tried to conquer many parts of asia pacific in order to group us into one economic zone: the greater east asia co-prosperity sphere. before i think that plan was really bad. but as i grew up, i then realized that somehow i would have brought something good for us too. but i won't tackle it for now. :D

anyways, enough with that. past is past. we can do nothing about it except to learn from it.

as i've said, i really, really like the japanese culture. hontou hontou ni!

it has taken my breath away, more than a boy could have ever done to me. yaaay -^_^-

it was my first love. japan has always stayed in my heart. and whenever i am sad, i just think of it, and poof! i am happy again. weeee <3

i don't know why or how should i put it, but i was really amazed on how they can preserve their traditions and showcase their cultures to people. i know that we filipinos also do those things but, i am totally speechless and was amazed on their ways.

i've seen many docu films related to japan and their culture and by watching it it feels like i'm one of them.

that's why i am really hoping before that i was a japanese. i really hoped for that.

that's why when i had a chance to have some j-pop and j-rock music with me, i began to learn them as soon as i could. honestly, at first it was hard but later on i got used to it.

maybe for other people this is just pure addiction and crazy stuffs. i admit that i am really addicted and captivated by it but i'm sure learning those stuffs will benefit me in the near future.

i was planning to work there after graduation, have a house there, reside and live forever in the land of sakura and ramen.

any work for me will do as long as it will make me a japanese citizen. haha XD

but for now, the only thing that i could do in preparation for those dreams is to learn the language. yes, i am learning the language.

it's simply by watching subbed animes over the net and reading mangas though they're scanned and translated at the same time.

i just really really hope that in the years to come, i would spend my days in japan, my dream land. ^^
